Welcome aboard Eion, I was hoping someone would build a Viggen. My personal choice will probably be a Draken in 1/48 scale. Now, if the campaign gods will approve this one we'll be on our way.

Welcome Jesper, long time since we campaigned together.
Looking forward to seeing another of your beauties. I'm working on getting a sign up page posted so everyone can enlist.

Trevor, the aircraft doesn't have to have been in front line service. Any aircraft with a delta wing is fine. Unfortunatly I'd have to say no to the Me 264 though.
As defined by Wikipedia : " The delta wing is a wing planform in the form of a triangle. It is named for its similarity in shape to the Greek uppercase letter delta (Δ)."
Here is a large, but not complete list of acceptable delta winged aircraft:
Avro 707 (1949) - experimental
Avro Vulcan - strategic (nuclear) bomber
Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow
Boeing X-32
Boulton Paul P.111 (1949) - research
Buran Space Shuttle
Chengdu J-7
Chengdu J-9
Chengdu J-10
Concorde
Convair B-58 Hustler
Convair F-102 Delta Dagger
Convair F-106 Delta Dart
Convair F2Y Sea Dart (unique seaplane fighter)
Convair XF-92
Convair XFY (one of the few propeller-driven delta wing aircraft)
Dassault Mirage III
Dassault Mirage IV
Dassault Mirage 2000
Dassault Rafale
Dyke Delta (another propeller-driven double delta wing aircraft)
Eurofighter Typhoon
Fairey Delta 1 (1951) - transonic delta research
Fairey Delta 2 (1954) - research, 1st aircraft to break 1,000 mph, rebuilt as BAC 211 for high speed delta research for Concorde
Gloster Javelin
HAL Tejas
Handley Page HP.115 - low speed delta research for Concorde
JF-17 Thunder
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (another "tailed" delta wing aircraft)
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 'Fishbed' (a "tailed" delta wing)
Myasishchev M-50
North American XB-70 Valkyrie
Saab 35 Draken
Saab 37 Viggen
Saab JAS 39 Gripen
Shenyang J-8
Space Shuttle Orbiter
Sukhoi Su-9 'Fishpot'
Sukhoi Su-11 'Fishpot'
Sukhoi Su-15 'Flagon' (early models)
Sukhoi T-4 / 100 Sotka
Tupolev Tu-144

Douglas F4D that is.

Hey folks,
Vernon put up quite an exhaustive list!
I'm sure there's at least one aircraft there that is tempting you to build!

Welllll... I am only signed up for 21 other campaigns, so one more won't hurt too much.. I have one or 10 of the planes you have in your list... Let's see... B-58, EF2000, Skyray, Mirage III.. that gives me a few to choose from..
I see your list came for Wikipedia..
Wait a sec, how about the XB-49? It would be an excuse to build it...

I'm told there is a sign up page somewhere for this campaign, but I'm unable to find it. If anyone knows where it is let me know.

Maybe it is in a wonka bar.
I still don't see any sign up page so we may just have to make this a covert campaign. Everyone wishing to build a delta wing aircraft meet at my house this Saturday night and we'll get started.

Hi all
The dates should be correct now. We seem to have had a gremlin at work on all the proposed campaigns.
All the best
